This article introduces the architecture and types of inverters used in photovoltaic applications. Inverters used in photovoltaic applications are historically divided into two main categories: Standalone inverters are for the applications where the PV plant is not connected to the main energy distribution network.
The advanced functionalities can be accomplished by using diversified and multifunctional inverters in the PV system. Inverters can either be connected in shunt or series to the utility grid. The series connected inverters are employed for compensating the asymmetries of the non-linear loads or the grid by injecting the negative sequence voltage.
However, not all inverters are intended to be installed with PV systems. Other types of power sources, such as fuel cells, microturbines and wind turbines, supply power through inverters specifically identified for the application. Source-type codes are marked on the inverter to identify the application for which the inverter has been evaluated.
In order to couple a solar inverter with a PV plant, it’s important to check that a few parameters match among them. Once the photovoltaic string is designed, it’s possible to calculate the maximum open-circuit voltage (Voc,MAX) on the DC side (according to the IEC standard).
To meet higher power requirement, the PV inverter industry, such as ABB PVS800 central inverter [ 9 ], introduces a parallel connection directly to the AC side, enabling power to be fed to the medium voltage network via a single transformer as illustrated in Fig. 3.
Galvanic isolation is provided and the safety is assured with the use of transformer. Because of the high cost and high loss of the transformer, the PV inverter becomes expensive and low efficient.
